To The Editor SI Midnight Rag, The quality of this paper has gone down hill ever since the departure of its former editor, JCWiggy, on a one-way trip to the Funny Farm. Witness the latest result. A supposed report of an ancient cave. I would have you know that I was sleeping when all those pointy-headed wankers came traipsing through my living room. Your report is a fake! (perhaps they did not notice me because unfortunately the night prior to the discovery I had imbibed certain quantities of the glorious TBird.. which, by the way they took, after sampling my spittoons - and thus I was incapacitated under the bed of rags.. well, the bed). And to impune my art!.. well, not my art.. it was visited upon me by a certain lady now resident in Italy. Equally unfortunately she caught.. uh, found me, showing such etchings to another woman. A certain 'foxy.' And now she says she does not care whether she talks to me or not. This is what your rag has accomplished. Disturbing the sleep of the innocent, questioning the value of art, and destroying a budding relationship with a blonde goddess. And slandering the name of the glorious TBird - sacrilege! I demand a retraction! (if that means an apology)

You can imagine my dismay over reading (in your steamy dime store tabloid) an article referring to the very cave I recently stumbled into..er upon. I question the authenticity of the story and the credentials of Dr. Monde. Jacques Monde's reputation for drinking far exceeds his archeological expertise. Is it any wonder then, that Monde claims to have found the "first ever evidence of wine making" ? As he and his questionable expedition team have since drank up all the purported evidence and have been known to live in communes, I say it was a flimsy excuse to cover up a drunken orgy gone public. As for the art supposedly being pornographic, it is a flat out lie. Suggestive maybe, but obscene, no. Perhaps in their drunken state, they painted over the wall art. The Sistine Chapel all over again. To further impugn the already less than stellar reputation of a simple cave dweller an his primitve habits for publicity is unconscionable. Is it a coincidence then that archeology rhymes with lobotomy? I think not. Foxy
